2011-12 Financial Aid Payment Schedule

Spring 2012 - Federal Pell Grant Book Advance Schedule    

DISBURSEMENT INFORMATION
The office of the University Controller of the City University of New York will mail all financial aid checks. Deposit or cash your financial aid check(s) as soon as possible.

You may want to consider having your financial aid check(s) directly deposited into your checking or savings account. For more information, contact the Bursar's Office,
room A-103, or call (212) 650-8705.

No checking or savings account?  Another option for receiving financial aid checks is the "CUNY Scholar Support Card" which is a debit card issued by Citibank.

If you do not receive your check in the mail within 10 days of the mailing date, or your check has been lost or stolen, be sure to come to the Financial Aid Office IMMEDIATELY. A "stop payment" must be placed on the check by CUNY's Office of the University Controller. It may take up to three (3) weeks to receive a replacement check.

Should you have any questions about your Financial Aid checks, please come to the Financial Aid Office with your check stub(s) and purple and white Bursar's bill.

If you receive a Federal Pell Grant check any time during the Fall semester, you will
automatically receive a Federal Pell Grant check in the Spring semester, as long as you remain eligible.
Financial aid checks for the 2011-12 academic year can be reissued as long as you remain eligible.  Deadlines for requesting a reissue of a check are:

• 06/01/12: FSEOG, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Ford Direct Loan, SEEK, and CUSTA.
• 08/17/12: Federal Pell Grant, Federal TEACH Grant.
  

Your check may be placed on "hold" or canceled if you do not meet the "Federal Financial Aid Requirements" listed below.

If you are enrolled in an "E-Permit" course at another CUNY school or in the CUNY B.A. program, you will receive your financial aid from City College. To verify your attendance at the other college, you must submit a statement from that college's Registrar's Office which indicates the number of credits for which you are currently enrolled.  These statements must be dated no earlier than one week prior to each check distribution.
